DH and I both teachers and looking for quirky names!

My DH and I are both teachers and don't want a name that will remind us of any pupil in particular- so we need something quirky/unusual but not totally "out there"!
DS is 14 months and called Logan- a name which is unusual but not in the realms of wacky and everyone seems to love it.
DC2 due in August and we don't know the sex.
Any ideas?
We've come up with a couple:
Blake
Riley
Noah

Violet
Scarlet (I don't like but DH does!)
Summer (too corney for an August baby??)

Probably way too late here, but my boys have twin friends (a boy and a girl) who are such lovely kids that I'm probably biased towards their names because of it - but I do really like them:

Tavish and Linnaea.

Teagan for a girl

Teagan? More sci-fi connections? Logan and Teagan...

My DD is called "Rhaya" (never heard of another) and I also want the name "Kade" for my DS due June 28th, you're welcome to any of those if you like them? Wink Smile

I was going to suggest Riley! what about Cameron, Harris, Iona, Skye, Rachel, Arran, Ria, Mia, Zia, Freya?

Blake - like
Riley
Noah - liek, but popular

Violet - not my taste
Scarlet (I don't like but DH does!) - v popular
Summer - no!

Many thanks everyone! :)
I think we're still a bit overwhelmed by all the names and all the associations with certain ones.
DH has just suggested Sheera (as in He-man and Sheera) and is mighty pleased with himself Hmm
There is no hope.......

He watches too much tv.

I would say

Isla for a girl or Niamh and Jamie for a boy.
